Since younger children’s minds have a smaller capacity for making sense of thoughts and feelings, their difficulties often come out in their behaviour, at home, nursery or school. This can of course be very worrying for parents, as can other signs such as anxiety, low mood, withdrawal, disrupted eating or sleep.
Through finely-tuned observation of children’s words, actions, drawings and play during a session, child psychotherapists help children and their parents to catch hold of what is really going on. This brings relief and makes healthy psychological development possible once again.
